This is a special birthday cake I made out of a recipe that I developed just for Sammu. Yes, the very same Sammu from Sammu ke Faloode. If you are a regular follower of my blogs you would know who this Sammu is and for the ones who don’t, she’s my bestie who has…

When you have to bake a cake for an awesome baker, that too a birthday cake, you know you are under a lot of pressure. No matter how much you plan and keep tossing different ideas in your mind, it’s never going to be enough. In situations like this, if you’re not planning to surprise…

As the name suggests, this is Sammu’s Eid special recipe for falooda. I am sure it is one of the summer favourites of most of the Indians, and those who have no idea what falooda is this’s your chance to know. It’s a milk and cream based cold dessert usually made in rose flavour and…

Lately, I have been seeing a lot of drool-worthy pictures and recipes of Mango Mastani all over the internet. Although the name sounded quite filmy it suited that tall glass of sunshine topped with vanilla ice cream and cherry. It’s nothing new but our good old mango milkshake with ice cream served with a little…

If there is one thing that I have enjoyed growing up in Delhi, then that’s the food. Whether it’s the pani puris from the street food vendors, the Veg Hakka noodles from the Chinese food trucks, the amazing gulab jamuns from the mithai-walas in our neighbourhood or the parathas and dal-roti from the local dhaba…

Sago kheer or Chowari payasam(in Malayalam) as I know it from my childhood days is a quick dessert fix by my mom whenever we craved for some sweets. I have never seen her making this for any guests so every time it was made exclusively for us. Some little things to be happy about as…

Yes, I know I have been posting a lot of Ragi based recipes lately and yet to post more. I mean why not? I just re-discovered this wonder grain and I can’t believe I kept it away from me for so long. Now that Ragi has made a powerful comeback into my life I am…

Bored of eating the same old plain rice? Spice it up then. How? Here comes the Masala rice, an easy rice preparation made by giving a great twist to the simple & plain basmati rice in a matter of a few minutes with minimal ingredients. This easy-to-cook rice preparation is a tasty meal in itself…

Yes, I am back with yet another Ragi aka Finger millet recipe. There are so many things you can make with Ragi that I am still not done writing down with the list of recipes I could come up with Ragi as the core ingredient. This time I am here with a recipe which is…

Mango season has been on for a month or so and I was desperately waiting for this season, to eat, drink and cook with mangoes in all possible ways. Despite it being my favourite fruit I still couldn’t make something with it other than gulping down every fresh batch I bought so far. Time is…

Ragi or Finger Millet, my new found love. Not that I am tasting it for the first time, in fact, I grew up eating this power packed wonder grain. Yes, like every other traditional mother, my mom also ditched the instant baby foods available in the market and chose health over convenience for us. And…

One bite into this tangy and buttery rich cake, paired with some mild flavoured tea is enough to give you a refreshing feel on a lazy summer afternoon. The cake being plain keeps it light yet rich with the addition of chocolate chips to it. Since citrus could be easily paired with a variety of…
